>I believe both GPUI’s and egui’s state models are dead ends for complex desktop applications. Why do those complex Adobe clones work so well then?

AI critiquing AI’s favorite native UI framework, brilliant.

Can't you fix this scaling by chunking the entities? So not making one massive 10,000 thing entity but instead breaking it up into entities that group 500 things?

Is diffing really that expensive even in complex applications?

So, which are the most advanced GUI frameworks that have ever existed, and why are they superior to GPUI or egui? Which company in the past needed a GUI more than Microsoft? Maybe they have the answer? Or Apple? I don't think social media apps are GUI heavy enough to have developed something advanced in this field. GUI complexity and application complexity are two different things arguments in the post sound reasonable but conclusion is off.

there is so much wrong in this ai generated article. from very poorly constructed egui benchmarks, treating dom performance as comparable, taking the egui creator's quotes out of context, and more. but i'm not going to spend time critiquing an ai-generated slop article. if anyone has specific questions about what is wrong feel free to ask me.

But how would the author's example `unread` counter issue with the Elm architecture (which doesn't seem especially unique to the Elm architecture) be any better with signals, their preferred appproach?
